Abstract

A fixed optic sensor system (200) comprising a sensor system (210), and electronic sub-system (205,253) and a communications means (215,310). The system can be used for detecting the presence of various sample (236,315) properties and in that regard has widespread application by leveraging off various miniaturized sensor configurations including surface plasmon resonance (50), fluorescence (80), light transmission (125) and others (150). In one embodiment, the communications means (215) is a wireless transmitter/receiver (310). In another embodiment, a hand held instrument (358) can be used onsite and communicates with the sensor (350) to receive sample (352) related data and transmit it to a remote processing system (370) for further analysis. In yet another embodiment, a hand held instrument (403) has a plurality of cardiac marker binding ligands (400) deposited on the sensor/sample interface providing a medical diagnosis and point-of-care device (403).
